I have loved Esther and her voice since the early 70s when they had their own show on English t.v. Being of Eastern Med. origin myself, I really admire singers who can throw their voices every which way. Beautiful voice, haunting song.
Great song. Great singer. Both Ofra and Esther's versions are superb. but Ofra had a voice which is 1/100,000,000. in addition, she had that heavenly voice only at youth .when she got older her voice changed. it stayed marvelous but not as it was when she was younger.
A great and wonderful Ivrit/Hebrew/Israeli song and melody! It's to fall in love with ... I know both versions, Ofra Haza's and Esther Ofarim's; I know both singers very well (acustically ;:-). Though that's no competition here, I put all the both to my Favorites & Play list ... I slightly prefer Esther Ofarim's version; but I can't really say why. I own, up from a longplay record, a clean and fine longer version which I want to upload here for you soon. Good-bye, and enjoy! (Dhibannour)
What suprises me most about Ofra, is that she was all about 18-19 yrs old when she sang the song of Sh'Charchorat, actually even b4 she had any rec. produced, whereas Esther..
I am looking for another version of this song. the singer was galit giat, and she sing it in LADINO, in tzika hadar tv program named: lo nafsik lashir.
@CrawlingMeower I refer to a comment you made 2 years ago about Glykeria singing your favourite version of Secharchoret. I have been searching for this on You Tube but no luck yet. Please advise where you heard it. Many thanks.
@CrawlingMeower Morena me llaman, blanca yo naci', morena me llaman, blanca yo naci'. de pasear ganado mi color perdi'. But the melody is nothing like this version.
Ofra Haza is much, much better but I like Esther's expression and smile when she sings this:) I wish there was a video of Ofra singing this live instead of just audio recordings. I like Mor Karbasi's version as well but Ofra Haza is best.
ללא ספק אחת מהענקיות שקמו לזמר הישראלי..לא מתעייפת מלשמוע את הזמיר היפה והענוג הזה
אין אין לך אסתר- מלכה אמיתית
Make that any human soul. Ofra and Esther are simply beyond amazing

I love both versions of this song just as much as I love both Ofra and Esther. They touch my sephardic soul.

לעופרה חזה ז"ל היה קול יפה ומיוחד במינו עד מותה.
נפטרה צעירה מאוד בגיל 42
היא מדהימה. ביצוע מדהים.
מדהים. ויפה.
ולא צריך להשוות ועופרה חזה ז"ל שרה את זה גם מדהים.
ושתהם הביאו לנו כבוד בעולם כולו.
עופרה באופן מטאורי.
amazing. amazing. i cant get enough of this song. the BEST version so far.... Esther is so elegant... totally timeless
יפייפיה וזמרת כמלאכית, כל כך גאה לדעת שהיא משלנו.
I heard this song in 1973 and haven't heard it since, but NEVER forgot it. Thank you for posting it.
מדובר באחד השירים הטובים בכל הזמנים
המנגינהנ שלו כל כך מדהימה וחודרת מדהים

My admiration ... words can't express ....
she is amazing! such a mystic voice and a pretty person..
Magnifique chant, merveilleuse voix. bravo
OMG I LOVE THIS SONG! Everything about it!
איזה קול - נהדר
תודה שהבאתם אותה
Esther was Ofra's Idol. Everyone knows that.
What suprises me most about Ofra, is that she was all about 18-19 yrs old when she sang the song of Sh'Charchorat, actually even b4 she had any rec. produced, whereas Esther..
פשוט שיר טוב!!! ואני שונא מזרחי! כבוד..
I listen to this time after time . And put it in my favourites .
אין על אסתר עופרים זמרת מקסימה ומכוון שאני שחרחורת הרי שאני אוהבת את מילות השיר והמנגינה וכמובן הזמרת הדגולה
Bellissima versione
Wow. Bella cancion y bella voz.
morenica me llaman, blanca yo naci...
Beutiful song...

מדהים רמה גבוהה !
O Sefarad, donde nacieron mis antespasados, donde los quemaron, donde los expulsaron. Aun tienes vuestra belleza y vuestro encanto,
O, Sefarad, antigua recuerdo en ti nacio esta cancion llamada Morenica.
קול של מלאך.
Beautiful!

הביצוע הטוב ביותר לשיר הזה מבחינת איכותה של הזמרת, אלא שהאיכות הטכנית של פס הקול מאוד לקוייה.
נכון :)
@CrawlingMeower Thank you. Dont have Hebrew on my keyboard unfortunately - anything English I can try?
Isn't she wonderful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ממתק
hehe, but Ofra breathes ;) I totally agree with swissdolphin.
mor karbasi version is amazing
For eternity ...
ich würde dieses lied gerne auf der gitarre spielen..ich wäre sehr dankbar wenn jemand mir die akkorde schreiben würde. danke

Ofra Hazza was still in a crib listening to Ester Ofarim. It is a fantastic rendition of this beautiful song.
There is one. Look for it.
Esther is clearly not singing this live lol. What's wrong with studio recordings? No autotunes back then
מחפש זמרת?
בואו נגיד שהגירסה הזאת יותר יפה של עופרה?
פרות קדושות יש רק בהודו.
Still beats all the others, to short
The answer is just above your massage... morenica me llaman - put in on a Google search
i disagree ,the best version of the song
has to be ofra haza
Compare this to adele......From devine goddesses right to the bottom of the pit...........
